ALBANY -- Brandon Mowry, videographer from WXXA-TV, Fox
23, was shooting a weather story at the Albany International Airport on
October 29, 2002, of aircraft taking off and clouds around 12 noon. When
he reviewed his tapes he first noticed the missile like object in his film
flying at an estimated 4,000 feet. The sighting was reported to the National
UFO Reporting Center and the FBI. Brandon Mowry was interviewed by the
FBI, who were apparently concerned the object could be a surface to air
missile fired to down a commercial aircraft. The missile like object had
fins on the front and the rear similar to several types of ground to air,
and air to air missiles that could have been fired from the ground or a
passing aircraft. Missiles of this type were used in Afghanistan.

A commercial aircraft pilot phoned Peter Davenport expressing
his apprehension. The pilot stated that the Albany video looked authentic
to him, and he expressed concern that no one was actively pursuing the
issue. He stated that he found it upsetting that objects like those in
the FOX video might be flying in the skies above our heads, and no one
is telling pilots about it. He also expressed his sense of disbelief that
FOX is not pursuing the issue more aggressively. He suggested that it
seems inappropriate that a news agency would have such dramatic video,
and would not be playing the tape, and bringing the story to the American
People in a more aggressive fashion that FOX has demonstrated in this case.
Some high quality video cameras can take the flight of a bird or fast
moving object and elongate the scene in such a way as to distort the video.
The two pairs of fins could actually be wings and the picture is stretched
to appear as a missile. Tests could be conducted with the camera to determine
if the camera's internal way of scanning the picture can cause the distortion.
Although this is a possibility it is unlikely with new high quality video
cameras. See the images at <http://www.filersfiles-ufo.com>http://www.filersfiles-ufo.com

CONNECTICUT WHITE TRIANGULAR CRAFT FLYING LOW

MANCHESTER -- On October 24, 2002, the witness was standing
on his deck and heard what sounded like a low flying prop plane. He stated,
"I looked up and saw a low flying triangular shaped craft. The color
being white." I called for my Daughter to come out and witness this
strange craft. I did not believe this to be an ultralight craft as it was
too large and too loud. There were no apparent windows, cockpit, landing
gear or propellers. It left no contrail. The sky was bright blue with
few high thin clouds, none of which were above the said craft. The craft
was moving fairly slow coming from the west and heading east. Less than
one minute after the craft passed over my house a military helicopter followed
the same exact flight path but was moving fast. I thought this might have
been some sort of military drone but have yet to find any examples that
fit the exact shape of the craft we saw. Thanks to Peter Davenport <http://www.ufocenter.com/>NUFORC

PENNSYLVANIA UFOs SPOTTED USING BEAMS OF LIGHT

NARBERTH -- The witness was on his back porch talking
to a friend on October 8, 2002, and they were looking at the night sky
on a clear night, like they often do. Then it happened, for about two
to three seconds a fireball streaked across the sky, from east to west,
and disappeared. The witnesses report, "I continued to gaze up when
I saw what appeared to be a dim star slowly moving." It suddenly got
brighter and brighter until it was a bright star. It then turned west
and dimmed, as though it was thundering back into space. The witness said,
"I have seen many UFO's, just keep looking up!"

TYRONE -- Researcher Stan Gordon reports: The witness
was hiking in the woods on Ice Mountain on October 20, 2002, about 7:30
PM, when he noticed a bright light south of his location, moving towards
him. The light appeared similar to the brightness of a normal aircraft
light when first observed but suddenly stopped. It began to pulsate and
brighten and then dim. There was a faint haze that was orange-red in color
that encircled the object. The pulsation pattern of the light began to
increase and flicker very rapidly. Suddenly a thin beam of very bright
blue-white light was emitted from the bottom of the object to the ground.
The witness stated, "This was no searchlight that did not defuse
with distance, but was a bright beam from top to bottom." The man
tried to describe the appearance of the beam with the following statement.
"Imagine a piece of dental floss held at arms length, and you'll
have a good idea of the beam's apparent width from my location."

The pulsating effect suddenly stopped, and the beam went
out. The object was and oval orange-red object that stopped moving and
began pulsating. The witness ran 100 yards to his vehicle to get his Olympus
digital camera and took one photograph as the object hovered, and a second
just as the object began to move. As he tried to take a third picture,
the object shot straight up at fantastic speed and disappeared."
The witness did not detect any sound, or odd smells. The light was a 1/4
mile away at about 1,000 feet in altitude. The sighting lasted for five
minutes near a large microwave relay tower at the top of the mountain.

CLARKES SUMMIT INVESTIGATION -- Angie M. writes, "Last
weeks Filer's Files reported on a UFO near Route 81 at the 195 mile marker
that was seen by several witnesses on October 8, 2002, The object had both
a red and blue row of lights. The object was moving in a circle. The
object was not rotating, because the several rows of the lights were very
defined as it moved around the local area. "I have relatives that
live in the Clarkes Summit that decided to check out the UFO report at
the 195 mile marker on Route I-81. They discovered twinkle lights hanging
on fishing line. It was a very clever set up that would fool most people
into thinking they were seeing a UFO. But when you get off the interstate
highway and drove into their back yard, you can see the UFO lighting system
hanging off a very tall black pole. Yes, it was impressive enough to stop
traffic on the interstate. So police had the happy home owner tone down
the display by not allowing so many lights to be lit up. So much for the
fake UFO. It was a great gag that was there for three weeks." From
a faithful reader -- Angie M.

FLORIDA UFO VIDEOTAPED

MIAMI -- Mary Margaret Zimmer Director of Miami MUFON
reports that: "Tony Moreno a busineesman had a UFO sighting above
the airport. Tony says, "I was in my backyard about 1:15 PM, on October
22, 2002, getting a sun tan and looking up squinting on a beautiful bright
sunny day." I saw a sparkle up in the sky, way, way, up high. I
saw it was like a stick, so I figured it was a satellite, or a space station
or something way up above in space. "I saw it move, or twist, or
curve and that drew my attention to several other little objects that were
around it." I thought, maybe it's a bunch of loose kite's or something
strange. And as I kept looking I noticed it was way to high to be kites
and they were more or less stationary with clouds moving underneath them
and through them. I jumped into my house and I grabbed my video camera,
but could not find the object with my naked eye and used the viewfinder
to locate the objects. I saw a triangle shape and some objects moving
around. Others were morphing. I saw the candy cane turn into a 'T' then
into a 'J,' then into a weird 'S.'" I saw one of the objects underneath
turn into a delta configuration by itself and they disappeared.

Five minutes later, I looked up and saw the sparkle and
started taping. "The UFOs flew over the flight path of incoming jets
to Miami International Airport. Tony notified and she drove over to Tony
Moreno's place of business, a music store called "The Cave" which
he owns and manages. She recorded Tony's statement and viewed the video
and checked with the local airports and meteorologists, but they had not
sent up any objects. Tony is a MUFON Field Investigator. The objects
in the video drift in and out of the base of 4,000 feet clouds. See video

OHIO DISK

ST. CLAIRSVILLE -- The witness reports seeing a craft
hovering above a mall at Exit 2180 on Highway I-70. The object had bright
headlights flashing different colors at 8:15 PM on October 22, 2002. The
center of what appeared to be a disk-shaped object had lights on either
side of a panel of colored lights. The witness states, "We saw lights
with orange-gold beams that shone from the left and right edges of the
craft. The craft appeared to remain stationary for about 9 minutes, before
it began to rise and move in a southwest direction. In a brief time, it
had climbed so high we could no longer see it. <http://www.ufocenter.com/>NUFORC

WISCONSIN 26 UFOs PASS BY

TREGO -- UFOWisconsin Reports that on October 5, 2002,
the witness was getting ready for bed a little after midnight and saw a
lighted object in the distance. I closed my eyes and turned my head sideways
with my head down in my pillow but then I thought to myself "Hmmm,
it wasn't moving anywhere and was way too high up to be a stationary helicopter"
so I looked back and it was still stationary. I focused my vision even
more and I saw a white and red light illuminating from it. My eyes must
have been focused on the object for at least 25 minutes trying to figure
out what exactly it could be. I momentarily went to get another blanket
and looked out the window again and it was gone.

Mary B. states, "Both my son and I observed the
objects and we were cognizant -- not to confuse stars with the passing
clouds and counted 26 UFO's pass by." They looked like round, white
lights bigger than stars. The strange thing was that they were in the
formation of the little dipper and its surrounding stars -- yet it was
too early for these stars to be overhead. Furthermore, they moved from
over the tree line in front of our house, over our house and then disappeared
over the tree line behind our house. This all in a matter of around 35
minutes. My son grabbed a video camera he had for his video class at high
school and recorded some of it. He brought the film in and showed it to
his science teacher. She said that she did not know what it was, but it
definitely wasn't stars. They seemed to be above the earth's atmosphere,
but lower than stars. Also, the star formation they were mimicking came
into view at our house about an hour later. Thanks to Mary B.

ILLINOIS V. SHAPED FORMATION OF 100-200 LIGHTS

EAST ST. LOUIS -- On October 15, 2002, at 3:30 PM, motorist
James A. was driving on Missouri Avenue when the lights at the railroad
crossing began to flash and the gate came down. "While waiting at
the train crossing," Jim reported, "I noticed what I first thought
to be a large object in the sky moving up and down in a 'spiral motion,'
each time taking a different shape. It then became obvious that I was
not watching one object but many. I would estimate 100 to 200 lights all
moving in sequence." "When I left the stop light at Centreville,
I pulled off Highway 15 and continued to view the object for about ten
more minutes. Suddenly, without hesitation, they broke ranks, with a large
group heading southeast in a V-shaped formation. A smaller group headed
west, about 15 to 20 of them. I was trying to watch both groups in what
they were doing." "Approximately 30 seconds later, two F-15
fighter jets appeared out of the north, flying towards the objects. At
that very moment, the two groups of UFOs just disappeared." Jim,
described the UFOs as "metallic, sun reflecting off objects, round
in nature. "They were very high, made sequential movements, and were
very precise." Thanks to UFO Roundup Vol.7, # 43, 10/22/02, Editor:
Joseph Trainor.

CALIFORNIA HUGE SUBMARINE SHAPED CRAFT

TEMECULA -- On October 20, 2002, the witness was driving
north on Ynez Road at around 9:30 PM when two lights appeared. As it got
closer the object looked like a giant submarine, and turned north. My friend
and I followed it north filled with curiosity about this object and it
turned right over a commercial area. Eventually the object was directly
above us. Other cars were also driving slow and the occupants were gazing
on up at the sky. The object got closer and flew above us and it was giant
probably around 300 yards long. Fear set in and I made a U turn while
the object continued north. During this whole event I heard a deep low
frequency rumbling noise. The next day, my friend and I decided to go
out and look for it again a little later and saw lights off in the west
shooting from one area to another with great speed. We drove around the
area for two hours but failed to see anything else. This is the weirdest
and possibly the most terrifying/exciting event of my life.

SOUTH PASADENA -- The witness saw a very large blue crescent-shape
at 5:45 PM, on October 26, 2002. At first, it looked like an escape balloon,
but it was too far away and much too large. It was shaped like one of those
dolphin balloons, which gave me my first clue. It was wobbling from side
to side, and heading east. After a little bit, it disappeared behind some
trees. Even after we repositioned ourselves, it was out of sight. It just
disappeared. Peter Davenport spoke with this witness, and found him quite
credible.

SAN JOSE -- Two witnesses were sitting in the parking
lot on October 28, 2002, after work at 1:10 PM talking when one looked
up and said, "What the?" They both saw what looked like a very
large distinct spherical brightly lit object flying across the entire span
of the sky. It flew from the south in a northern direction, directly over
our heads. It flew silently, lower and faster than any airplane normally
would, and slower and longer than any shooting star I've ever witnessed.
It was bright white in color with a slight blue tint and a tail behind
it; maybe 4 times its own diameter. Thanks to Peter Davenport <http://www.ufocenter.com/>NUFORC

CANADIAN PHOTOS OF UFO

QUEBEC -- On August 20, 2002. at 21:08 hours our member
Jean L. and his wife Lina in Saint-Jean-de-Matha, got an alarm on their
computer. Jean grabbed his camera and ran outside and took a photo of
a UFO. They saw a white sphere, reddish on the bottom which passed over
his house heading northeast. The sky was clear and the moon was visible
behind it. When the object was above the mountains, it changed direction.
The observation lasted between 3 and 4 minutes. About 5 minutes later,
Jean and his wife Lina observed six military aircraft heading in the same
direction. The camera used is a PRAKTICA, Aperture:2.8. Time exposure:
1/60 second, Film used: ISO 400.

VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- On November 1, 2002, the
witness was outside and heard the purring of a small plane and turned to
see it traveling south at around 4500 feet at 3:35 PM. It was clear day
and a small Cessna aircraft with bright yellow sides and a red tail section
that were plainly visible. Suddenly my eyes caught a glimpse of another
aircraft flying in the same direction to the west of the other, but much
closer to me. This second object was a much larger craft than the Cessna;
in fact the nose of it extended much farther forward of the small swept-back
wings than the Cessna. It resembled a DC-9 in basic shape but the wings
were very short. This craft was pure white and did not appear to have
windows or markings of any kind. Its wings were kind of indistinct and
shadowy. Strangely the Cessna, one of the slowest aircraft in the sky,
was traveling at a much higher rate of speed than this object. This object
continued very slowly on its southerly course until it was out of sight.
I have never seen such a large aircraft fly so slowly. In fact, it seemed
impossible for a fixed wing aircraft to do that at all.

KITWANGA, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- Brian Vike reports four
witnesses watched a UFO while on their way home from their work at 6:30
PM on November 1, 2002. They were on the mitt-in-main forestry road, when
they saw a bright, yellowish/white light with a "beam" coming
from the bottom of it. The beam of light was like a flashlight shinning
in a fog. The witness said they saw it for three seconds before it disappeared.
The light did not move, but stayed in the one position and then just disappeared.
Considering the distance from the object, the light was small in size.

SCOTLAND CIGAR

DUNDEE -- Whilst at work I looked out of the main door
on October 27, 2002, and saw what looked like a cloud in the shape of a
cigar, which was white in color. The object was at first stationery at
5 PM, and then began to move from south heading north quite slowly for
about 30 seconds then stopped. Then a few seconds later it moved again
in the same direction as mentioned above. The object stopped again then
appeared to move off to the west and eventually faded away. The above
mentioned object was around ten miles away from where I was standing.

MALLORCA --For months, strange noises have troubled the
tranquility of the waters north of the Island of Mallorca that has a history
of plentiful UFO reports. The presence of underwater flying saucer bases
is one of the hypotheses to be confirmed or dispelled by a team from the
Sociedad Española de Investigaciones Parapsicológicas (SEIP--Spanish
Society for Parapsychological Research) on its way to Mallorca. "All
possibilities are open, ranging from the presence of UFO bases to the existence
of an underwater volcanic area or tectonic-plate displacement," said
José Castro, SEIP's coordinator--along with Javier Rodriguez, of
the expedition which will study the noises. Since Friday afternoon, researchers
have worked in the area located between the island of Dragonera and Cape
Formentor, where experts in undersea fishing claimed having heard noises
of unknown origin which are apparently audible from the surface on calm
days, and whose strength and intensity vary as a function of depth. Thanks

UKRAINE CIRCULAR HOVERING DISK

CRIMEAN PENINSULA -- Anton A. Anfalov writes, "I
would like to report new remarkable UFO observation on October 7, 2002.
My old friend, Mr. Victor A. Zdorov, was on a business trip driving his
"Lada" vagon car, in the Belogorsk District of the Crimean Autonomous
Republic between 3 to 5 PM. Suddenly, he noticed a big circular object
no less than 50 meters in diameter, hovering stationary for more than one
hour over the forest covered mountains five kilometers southwest of the
village of Zemlyanichnoye. The circular UFO had flat cone-shaped upper
part (something like a Vietnamese or Chinese hat), with a small cone on
top, and a short vertical antenna. The lower part was like a big deep
saucer, with the upper part wider than the lower. It had segmented structure
like several vertical and horizontal sectors, marked by slightly visible
lines. The color of the entire object was dull-grey metallic. Many local
residents saw the UFO, but there are frequent sightings so many do not
pay much attention to the regularly observed UFOs. The local press also
often refuses to publish UFO reports, since they are so common. I personally
interrogated the witness in the most detailed way and a picture of the
craft was drawn. Thanks to Anton A. Anfalov, Ukrainian UFO Research Association
(UKUFAS) an@crimea.com.

Editor's Note: It is quite possible life is spread throughout
the universe and even space. With estimated hundreds of millions of earth
like planets circling an estimated 400 billion stars in our Galaxy, the
chances for intelligent life have increased dramatically, if life can exist
outside the atmosphere. If life forms can survive in space, some of the
strange objects seen in our skies may be rod like animals, strange birds,
virus or some strange new life form. These larger life forms could feed
on the smaller ones. Within our seas are floating jelly fish, a possible
life form lighter than air may be flying in our skies. Florida MUFON,
Washington's Annamarie K. Johnstone, Ph.D. and an Albany TV cameraman have
taken photos during October, that appear to show high speed rod like structures.
These unidentified flying objects change shapes, similar to an eel in
the water that tend to support the theory of unknown life forms. There
is also the possibility the objects are made of molecular material that
can morph, change size and shape as needed. There have been reports of
small basketball size probes entering Earth's atmosphere and after hovering
above a lake, the object expanded in size to become a huge ship. Advanced
technologies may have the ability to change size, shape, and be teleported
through space. If a space ship could reduce its size and mass, much less
fuel would be needed to travel the vast distances between star systems.
We have the ability to send television images from other planets to Earth.
The next step for humanity is to transport solid objects. Advanced civilizations
may have already discovered this technology. Photos at <http://www.nationalufocenter.com/files/2002/index.php>Filer's
